観測条件の良くない中での観測だが、Elysium Monsの位置に白雲が出ている様子が鮮明に記録された。前日に記録された北極冠の右側の明部は明るくなり、NPCよりも明るく見えている。
Observation in poor observation conditions, but clearly recorded the appearance of white clouds at the position of Elysium Mons.
The bright part on the right side of the North Pole Cap recorded on the previous day becomes brighter and looks brighter than the NPC.
(by 1 observation ;reported by Makoto Adachi)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
An IR capture from this morning taken through incoming cloud, and in poor seeing, which cut the session short.
Elysium is central, surrounded by a number of dark markings including Propontis I, Trivium Charontis and Cerberus.
I am not 100% sure, but the bright spot appears to be closer to Albor Tholus than Elysium Mons.
M Cimmerium towards the top and there also appears to be some structure to the NPC.
The NPC outlier would be expected to show a horizontal gap, rather than the vertical gap observed. Any comments welcome
